Cut off ‘snacks’, now what? Looking for suggestions

My son (1.5) has always been a really good eater. In recent months, I started to get too dependent on snacks (my fault, as a SAHM) to keep him fed on the go. Pretty soon all he wanted were cracker or chip-like snacks and he’d reject everything else. His main ones were Dots pretzels (can’t blame him lol), goldfish, and Cheerios.

Well I cut him off cold turkey last week and the transition has been great. We’re pretty liberal with our definition of ‘real food’ (microwaveable chicken nuggets, oikos triple zero protein yogurt, pizza rolls, and even triple zero protein eggo waffles are all fair game). He’s finally gone back to eating all of these things and even asking for them, which I’m very happy about. He’ll at least try a few bites of what we’re having for dinner as well, which is great progress.

I would love to find some other quick meals that aren’t cracker/chip/pretzel in nature. Any suggestions? As you can tell, I’m not a super crunchy individual lol, but would like to avoid the crunchy snacks!
